Jon & Kate’s Ruined-By-Reality Relationship Finally Ends

Jon & Kate: who saw this coming? Besides everybody? Of all the ruined-by-reality domestic hellholes, this is the gnarliest, partly because it’s pretty obvious the kids were only conceived in the first place so Kate could get on TV. The couple everyone loves to hate — or rather, the couple everyone loves to pretend they never heard of until last month — finally announced they’re putting their marriage down. Not in the naptime for baby sense, but in the shooting a dead horse sense. We’ll miss those trauma-inducing moments on the couch.

Here’s a look back at Nick & Jessica, Britney & Kevin and the rest of reality TV’s demolished relationships here:

why the fuck is RS talking about this? say what you want about them, but this is a music magazine! focus on that.

Just resubscribed after several years … after this and yesterday’s Perez Hilton post, I’m already wondering why. If I wanted US Weekly crap, I’d have subscribed to that.

A shame that better music mags struggle and that the few good writers RS has left have to be associated with this dreck.

I can understand the JoBros. But this in RS makes no sense.

I will never spend money on your magazine EVER again. Between this, and all of the fucking Jonas Brothers coverage, well, need i say more?
